About Director Andy Falco Jimenez
Andy Falco Jimenez is a retired Anaheim police officer, K9 trainer, and the visionary founder of Falco K9 Academy, with a career spanning over three decades of service and leadership. Born in La Mirada, California, Andy’s journey began as a latchkey kid, where he developed resilience through hard work from age 14, juggling jobs while excelling in sports like pole vaulting. His law enforcement career was marked by remarkable achievements, including becoming the youngest K9 handler at the Anaheim Police Department, earning Officer of the Year in 1993, and receiving the Distinguished Service Award in 1994. After retiring in 2005, Andy transformed his passion for training into a global impact, training over 1,000 police K9 teams and working with major organizations like Disneyland, while also authoring nine #1 bestselling books, including works on wellness, entrepreneurship, and dog training. Alongside his wife, Hedieh Falco, he co-hosts the highly successful podcast Living Fearless Devotional on Pastor Jack Hibbs’ Real Life Network, inspiring countless listeners with biblical wisdom and practical faith.
Through life’s trials—professional challenges, personal struggles, and a renewed faith journey—Andy discovered his calling to mentor men and boys in Christ. This led to the creation of SHIELD of VALOR, a transformative program launching in 2026 to forge courageous, masculine, and fearless men grounded in biblical principles. Andy’s book, SHIELD of VALOR, encapsulates his life’s wisdom and the program’s mission, offering a roadmap for men to embody Strength, Honor, Inspiration, Endurance, Leadership, Devotion of Vision, Action, Loyalty, Overcoming, Redemption. Men should join SHIELD of VALOR and read Andy’s book to gain the tools to lead with integrity, stand firm in faith, and build a godly legacy, just as Joseph did in Genesis 50:23. Invite others to join this movement at resurrectministry.org and be part of a national revival of godly manhood, shaping a future where men lead with a steel spine for Christ’s glory.
